I realized I hadn't done a water marble manicure in quite a long time - I have had some failed attempts, but that of course does not count. I was trying to decide what colors to use when I was struck with the idea to do a holographic water marble!
For this water marble manicure, I started off with three coats of
China Glaze OMG! silver holo as a base. I then swirled
China Glaze OMG, TMI, LOL, and 2NITE for the water marble effect and ta-da! Holographic water marble.

The thumb was my favorite on this one. The last couple of times I water marbled, I did one finger at a time, but this time I did two-three fingers at a time to conserve polish and go a bit faster, so each nail turned out a little different, which is kind of fun.

Also pretty in the shade! These colors go really well together. I forgot how much I like water marbling, I should do it more often. It is kind of a pain (especially when you have your heart set on a polish that was just not meant for the technique) but turns out really fun. Hope you all like it!
So freaking awesome! I love this look but not sure I want to do the cleanup I imagine it needs! But this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh this is too gorgeous !
ReplyDeletewow! that's stunning! I so want to try a holo water marble! (I'll try it soon!!!!)

ReplyDeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome!
That's the coolest water marbling I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I wouldn't be able to stop staring at that!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!!! I have only done one holo water marble and I found it was a PITA to work with. Anyway...this is great! The last couple times I've tried to water marble, I couldn't get the polish to spread - I think it's the air conditioning. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOMG, indeed.
ReplyDeleteAmazeballs, too :D !
OMG is gorgeous! Your pinkie is my fave. =P
ReplyDeleteoh WOW...that's freaking brilliant, so pretty
ReplyDeleteOMG! My mouth dropped! This looks amazing! Love the polishes you choose!
ReplyDeleteamazing!! love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, amazing, gorgeous, etc etc.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Unfortunately I'm not able to do nice water marbling. Sigh. :(
Great Job, I wouldn't be able to do this that well to save my life!!
ReplyDeleteThis is INSANELY pretty! I'm going to try my first water marble soon. Do you find that certain types of polishes work better than others, or does it just vary for every individual polish?
ReplyDeleteI love this one! and I love China glaze! these colors are really pretty and I tried to do the marble but I think my water was too cold
ReplyDeleteWHOOOOOAA :0 thats amazing! holo marble..!!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I like this!! Super pretty. <3
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty design! Could you provide a tutorial for this, they look really good!
ReplyDeleteHi, I have recently perfected my water marbling, but using the method that you transfer the design to plastic, let it dry then peel and stck. It is a great way of doing it, but im having a problem with doing a Holo design. I can not get the colour to spread to get good layers and the couple of layers I do get to swirl come out so thin that the Colour is pretty much non existent. I really need some help, anyone, please!! Xx
ReplyDeletethis is an awesome water marble!! I love holos
